On October 14, 2015, Russia notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) of two draft EAEU phytosanitary measures via G/SPS/N/RUS/111 and G/SPS/N/RUS/112. In particular, the drafts would establish unified EAEU rules and standards of plant quarantine and specify that the amount of plant products that can be imported without a phytosanitary certificate is up to five kilograms per person. The 60-day public comment period for both drafts will close on December 13, 2015. Interested U.S. parties are encouraged to share their comments and/or concerns with USDA’s enquiry point (us.spsenquirypoint@fas.usda.gov). For potential inclusion in the U.S. official position, please send your comments by December 1, 2015.
